Good so it is not zfs-specific.

The main problem that I've found is that with a single disk configuration,
there is a timeout then the system recovers but with a dual (or maybe more)
disks involved, multiple/current timeouts make the system panic and that is
not nice.

I suspect that changing the timeout may just hide the real problem.
